    Gross. Lester's starts have been ugly lately.

      Lester regression has come and it's bad. ERA is decent but he might but the worst of the Cubs starters right now which is weird.

        He had a 2.58 ERA at the break. It's up to 3.89 now. 5.02 FIP. Oof.

          I think we all knew regression was coming for Lester. I was just hoping his ERA and FIP would meet in the middle, in that he'd pitch better but be less lucky. Seems like he's actually pitching worse, and isn't lucky. That's a bad combo.

            I agree. Too many homers. Too many walks. Not getting out of jams.

            I wouldn't be surprised if most guys on the Cubs have an ERA consistently lower than their FIP, simply due to the defense behind them.

              Dansby Swanson needs to get on PED's at this point...I wouldn't even care.

                Watching the Giants pregame right now, and they're showing little bits from players reminiscing on Bonds (on video, not live).

                They're getting set up for the live stuff now though. They have a big "Forever Giant" circular tarp around home plate with a cartoon sketch look of a real Bonds shot, over a dozen chairs on either side of the pitching mound with a large "@5" in between them and in front of the mount, and right in the middle of all that on the infield grass is a glass podium where players will be talking, and Kruk & Kuip will emcee the event.

                There are also 35 large inflated balls out in McCovey Cove with numbers on them, one for each of Bonds' splash hits there.

                I just wish the guy was actually in uniform for them again.

                EDIT: And hurr we go!

                  Teheran has become insistent on being an equal opportunity pitcher; throws as many balls as strikes. Not a good trait...

                    Oh my, when Willie Mays was announced and The Natural theme song came on as he stood up in front of the crowd, brought a big tear to each of my eyes. Not sure why, I guess because it's likely the last big time he's going to be honored so heavily in front of a large home crowd like that.

                    A special moment for everyone to check out if/when this hits YouTube.

                      Yeah exactly. but when he was going well I didn't think this was eventually going to happen. I thought slight regression coming in 2nd half geez.

                          Willie is talking a good game on the mic, but he's starting to make Larry Baer sweat a little bit by stating that he needs a statue outside of AT&T Park today.

                          Let's get this man in the Hall.

                          On the note above, J.D. is awesome. Betts is awesome. Pedro, Papi, and Manny were awesome but had personalities that really heightened their awesomeness as well. The Red Sox are an awesome organization.

                                And to think Teheran finally did decent and it's obsolete now.
